Car would not start Saturday, Multiple tries and starter…

Car would not start Saturday, Multiple tries and starter sounded good, all electrical worked fine. Dealership has called and it now starts fine and they cannot duplicate the no start.

Mechanic's Assistant: Have you checked the battery, particularly the terminal connections? Are they corroded?

No corrosion battery 1 year old, Checked by me, Ford roadside and dealership

Mechanic's Assistant: What is the model/year of your Ford?

2013 Flex SEL

Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Flex yourself? What have you tried so far?

I had it towed to dealership. Roadside tried to jump it off but said that battery was fully charged

Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the mechanic to know before I connect you?

Just that whatever it is the dealership says it cranks fine now. They think the tow jostled something to make it work again. I was wondering if it was the emergency fuel cut off but there have been no accidents

I will tell you that...the things you have to go through to be an Expert are quite rigorous.

What Customers are Saying:

AlvinC answered a question about my Ford truck that only someone with an in-depth knowledge of his subject would have known what was going on.

Because of your expertise, you armed me with enough ammunition to win the battle with the dealer. They are installing a fuel filter and fuel pump at no charge to me.

I do know, after going though this with JustAnswer, that I can somewhat trust my mechanic but I will always contact you prior to going there.

I would (and have) recommend your site to others I was quite satisfied with the quality of the information received, the professional with whom I interacted, and the quick response time. Thanks, and be sure that I'll be back whenever I need a question answered in a hurry.
